Everything ran smoothly, which allowed me to focus entirely on enjoying the journey.Special thanks to my guides: • Alfredo: after four days trekking together, we didn’t just finish as guide and guest — we finished as friends forever. His knowledge, humor, and support made every step of the Lares trek an experience I will always carry with me. • Francesc and Sonja: although I only spent one day with each, their energy, knowledge, and company made those days truly special.Life Expeditions is not just about showing you the highlights; they create a personal and human experience that stays with you. If you are considering trekking or exploring Peru, I can confidently say: choose them. You won’t regret it. Amélie G2025-08-29Verificada Beautiful 3-day trek around the Ausangate We spent 3 beautiful days around the Ausangate. Our guide Luz and the rest of the team was perfect. Walks during the day are not too difficult if you are acclimatized to the altitude and the really beautiful landscapes. Only cool, cool nights are a little more difficult. Do not miss these spectacular landscapes Maribel C2025-07-12Verificada Experience in Peru From the beginning we received the best advice from Melissa, who gave us complete guidance to feel confident about purchasing her services. Everything acquired on the tour was fully complied with, the accompaniment on each day of the trip was the best attending to all our doubts and incidents that could arise. I stress Abraham's entire Willingness and Fitness for Service.At the end of the trip we received a beautiful and pleasant gift. Bruno F2025-05-10Verificada Thank you Life Expedition for the best vacation! It was certainly the best experience we have had on a trip, all thanks to Life Expeditions!We were constantly accompanied and cared for by them. They are noted for their kindness, responsibility and quality of care. They are fully recommended and we will choose them again on our next vacation. Feel free to contact them!Thank you so much Life Expeditions! Burcu D2025-04-17Verificada A good, trustworthy, professional experience for solo travellers I was a very last minute customer for them yet they arranged everything for me. As a solo traveller, it is always a bit bumpy if you are visiting a country like Peru, where most of the people don’t know English, and I do not know Spanish :) i felt like somebody that I trusted took my hand and created me a life time experience without any delays or problems. From the moment that I landed in Cusco, throughout the Inka temples in the city and till the morning sunrise in Machu Picchu… I was blessed and Abraham & the team were just always there to support me. All my messages were handled just in time, every question was given a full answer with a positive attitude. Thank you, for making my sudden solo trip an amazing life time experience 🤍🙏 Explorer661735587382025-04-09Verificada recommend Life Expeditions I recommend Life Expeditions, the service was extremely courteous, professional and pleasant.

Chris Mueller2025-10-13Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We did the Inca trail with our guide edson, cooks david and Moses, porters Pedro, Francisco, Bruno, and pio. They made the trip amazing. Better food than we eat in a restaurant, setup camp for us and catered to everything. Edson cut through the bureaucratic stuff and got us to the best places that the other bigger companies skip. We saw more ruins and had the best photo ops. Better price than the companies based in the US . sandra balborin2025-10-05Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. viajamos por primera vez a cuzco, nos sorprendió el lugar, los paisajes, la gente y la comida.
